The shadow moved stealthily in the darkness, moving away from its original location without a sound, and then headed towards its destination. Meanwhile, the disciples guarding outside the house in front of it were completely oblivious to it.
To the east of the hut was an extremely vast forest that extended all the way to the nearest mountain peak. In the night, this forest seemed especially quiet and deep.
Lu Chen's figure stepped into the forest, blended into the darkness, quietly looked at the surroundings and then started to walk deeper into the forest.
His mouth trembled slightly, as if he was secretly repeating something, at the same time, he would occasionally turn back to look at the direction of the house, as if adjusting his direction according to the position there.
"Eastern... Life Gate... Divine... Lord..." His eyes were bright and sharp, as if he was carefully identifying the direction in that strange and obscure formula, trying hard to find something.
The night was deep, the forest was also deep and dim but Lu Chen seemed to be like a fish in water, unusually adapted to this environment. He walked steadily, after several zhangs deep into the forest, he suddenly stopped.
His hand gently raised, fingers slightly flexed, as if slowly calculating something in the air. Very quickly, his eyes suddenly lit up, that finger also stopped pointing at a certain direction.
That was somewhere deep in the forest.
That place did not look any different, just that there were many very dense trees.
It was a stretch of darkness, perhaps even darker than other places.
As if it was hiding a secret, quietly waiting in this deep night.
Lu Chen took a step forward, but he suddenly paused in midair and slowly retracted his foot. He stood in the darkness, watching that stretch of deep darkness from afar, as if he had fallen into a sudden silence.
There was no murderous aura, no danger, no warning signs or signs that could cause alarm.
That place ahead seemed no different from the surroundings, only hiding that secret, waiting for him to go over and discover.
But, Lu Chen still stood there motionless.
He coldly looked at that place, for a very long time.
If... he wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, then, after seeing the Evil Sect formation in that house, would there also be someone, similarly wanting to know who he was, wanting to find him?
Very few people knew about the top and strange methods of the Devil Cult, but those who knew were definitely not ordinary people. Could such a person have also set up some unpredictable traps?
Lu Chen was like a shadow, quietly standing in the darkness. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly turned around and quietly walked away without looking back, not even sparing a glance at the darkness.
The night was deep and no one knew what had happened in the boundless darkness. Only the swaying and silent shadows floated around in the sky, adding a bit of desolation to the night.
…
The first rays of the morning sun shone down from the sky, illuminating the thatched hut on the Purple Cloud Peak's Flying Goose Platform. Lu Chen yawned, stretched his body, and rested on the bed for a while. Then, he lazily got up, opened the door, and walked out.
It was really comfortable to have no one to care about him.
He was the only one on the huge fairyland-like Flying Goose Platform. Even though the most important stone door on the other side of the mountain wall was tightly shut, at least for this morning, this place seemed to belong to him alone.
The fresh morning breeze blew over from the sea of clouds on the other side of the cliff, bringing with it a moist and gentle scent, it felt very comfortable on his face; the verdant trees on the mountain swayed with the wind, as if they were also smiling. The sound of birds chirping and rustling was like an ancient and elegant song, intoxicating people.
Lu Chen strolled from one side to the other, openly and unscrupulously looking around the entire Flying Goose Platform that he did not have the time to visit yesterday, memorizing all the terrain and roads in his heart. Then, he walked back to the side of the spiritual field, and carefully looked at the Eagle Fruit Trees.
There seemed to be no change in the situation, there was no Eagle Fruit that suddenly made things difficult for Su Qingjun, forcing them to suddenly ripen this morning.
Of course, after a day of spiritual power cultivation and growth, these Eagle Fruits were still a little bigger than yesterday. The immaturity had faded a little, and there was a little red on them.
Perhaps they would not ripen today, but there was no telling tomorrow.
No matter what, he still had to do the work that needed to be done. He could not leave these Eagle Fruit Trees alone when Su Qingjun was not on the mountain. But no matter how he looked at it, in such a place that looked like a holy land for cultivation, it was really putting the cart before the horse if he did not cultivate and instead lay in the mud to plant trees.
Lu Chen sighed, looked around at the beautiful scenery, and shrugged. "Who asked you to be a servant disciple?"
The mountain forest was quiet, and the scenery was beautiful. Time flew by without him realizing it. Lu Chen finished his work in the spirit field. His hands were black, and his body was covered in a lot of black mud. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had risen quite a bit. It seemed that in another two hours, the morning would be over.
"It's still quite quiet, no one came looking for me."
Lu Chen was a little happy, and at the same time, he sincerely hoped that Su Qingjun would come back as soon as possible. That way, these two thousand Spirit Stones would be very easy to earn.
Unexpectedly, just as he was secretly happy, he suddenly saw a figure appear on the mountain path below the Flying Goose Terrace, walking quickly in his direction.
"Damn it!"
Lu Chen's face immediately became long, and he looked angrily at the figure on the mountain path. He thought to himself, why is this person so disappointing, can't he let me be happy for a while?
…
"Please wait!"
When the young man on the mountain path was about to reach the Flying Goose Terrace, suddenly a figure jumped out in front of him, blocking the mountain path, and shouted loudly.
The young man was startled, and could not help but take a step back, then looked at Lu Chen standing in the middle of the road in front of him, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
Lu Chen's eyes fell on this person's face, and his eyes slightly narrowed. He recognized that this young man was also a member of the Su family. It was Su Wen, one of the brothers of the Su family that had the dispute over the stone garlic that had occurred in the grass garden that day, and besides Sumo and Su Qian, he was one of the three brothers of the Su family.
Lu Chen slightly raised his eyebrows, and for a moment, he remembered that yesterday, Sumo and Su Qian came here together to see Su Qingjun, but among the so-called three brothers of the Su family, only Su Wen was missing. When he saw Su Wen yesterday, he did not think so, but today, seeing Su Wen come to the Flying Goose Terrace alone, there seemed to be some unknown little secret …
These thoughts flashed past Lu Chen's face, but his expression was calm, and he said to Su Wen calmly, "I am Lu Chen, greeting Young Master Su."
Su Wen was shocked again, and said, "You know me?"
Lu Chen smiled, and said, "I used to work in the Flowing Fragrance Garden, and I have seen Young Master Su. With a talent like you, it is very normal for me to know you."
Su Wen made an "oh" sound, and looked a little proud, then he waved his hand and said, "We are now on the mountain of Kunlun, and in the sect, there is no need to talk about common names, let us call each other senior and junior brothers."
Lu Chen nodded, and said, "Very well, greeting Senior Brother Su."
Su Wen nodded. He was just about to walk forward when he was suddenly stunned, and he seemed to have finally recovered from his shock. He looked at Lu Chen with astonishment and said, "Wait, this Soaring Goose Terrace is where my Big Sister Jun's abode is located, and it's always always been her quiet and alone. Why are you here?"
Lu Chen pointed in the direction of the spiritual field, and said, "I am here to plant trees," then he told him about how Su Qingjun wanted to eat the Eagle Fruit, and how Baicao Tang did its best to help, and so on.
Su Wen listened and nodded, and then saw that there were indeed many black mud stains on Lu Chen's body, as if he had just walked out of the spiritual field, and so he believed him a little more, and said with a smile, "I see, then you must do your job well, and do not slack off, and delay my Sister Jun's cultivation plan, or you will suffer! Of course, if you do well, this Young Master will naturally give you some rewards. "
Lu Chen looked at him with a smile, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Su."
Su Wen nodded, and then prepared to walk around Lu Chen, and walk towards the abode on the other side of the mountain wall. Unexpectedly, Lu Chen turned around, and blocked his way again.
Su Wen's face darkened, and he shouted, "Lu Chen, what are you doing? Why won't you let me go? "
Lu Chen's expression was still gentle, and even though he was scolded by Su Wen, he did not get angry, and only said, "Senior Brother Su, it is not convenient for you to go now."
"Nonsense!" Su Wen looked angry, and pointed at Lu Chen, and said, "I want to see Sister Jun, how dare you stop me? Let me tell you, Sister Jun loves me the most. If you dare to be impudent again, believe it or not, I will go back and tell Sister Jun, and ask her to immediately chase you down the mountain! "
"Oh …" Lu Chen looked up at the sky helplessly, and thought for a while, and said to Su Wen, "Senior Brother Su, to tell you the truth, the person who asked me to stop you here was actually Su Qingjun, Shijie Su."
Su Wen was shocked, and said, "What? Impossible! " His face suddenly became pale, as if this sentence had deeply provoked him. Then, his reaction suddenly became intense, and he directly shouted towards the abode in the distance, "Sister Jun, Sister Jun, you, you are really annoyed with me? I don't believe it … "
As he shouted, the young man actually sounded like he was about to cry, and this scene made Lu Chen, who was standing at the side, somewhat dumbfounded.
Even with Lu Chen's calm and sharp temperament, he was stunned for a while before he reacted. He quickly grabbed the shouting Su Wen, and said with a bitter smile, "This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Senior Brother Su, Young Master Su, you have misunderstood!"
"Ah?" Su Wen looked at him, and asked with a trembling voice.
"What Shijie Su means is that today, in order to eat the Eagle Fruit and prepare for the perfect Jin Dan realm, she will not see anyone, and no one is allowed to disturb her. That is why she asked me to stop everyone here." He emphasized the last three words.
"Everyone?" Su Wen became spirited.
"Yes, everyone." Lu Chen looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Senior Brother Su, the relationship between you and your brother is really good."
"Of course!" Knowing that he was not detested, Su Wen immediately regained his spirit, and even said with a hint of arrogance, "Only those two idiots, Sumo and Su Qian, refused to follow me. Wait until I get the benefits, and they will be greedy to death!"
Lu Chen looked at Su Wen's complacent face, and smiled slightly.
